Christian Endeavor

or more fully, the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. It was organized February 2, 1881, at Portland, Maine. A similar organization was effected in England in 1887. The society has spread so widely that its constitution is now printed in thirty-two different languages. It is undenominational. Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, Congregationalist, and many other denominations contribute to its membership. There are now about 57,000 societies with an aggregate membership not far from 4,000,000. Annual conventions bring an enormous number of delegates together. See Epworth League
